On May 14, members of ULI Alberta absorbed breathtaking views and witnessed firsthand the progress being made on Westbank Corp’s ambitious Telus Sky project during a hard hat tour of the new tower.

Guided by Westbank’s Senior Development Manager, Rhiannon Mabberley, we took the construction elevator to the 42nd floor to explore the residential floorplates and look down on the Calgary Tower observation deck. A tour of the lower commercial levels revealed a suspended floor system, unique office balconies and jawdropping staircases above the vaulted lobby which will feature a green wall on completion.

Rhiannon shared with the group some of the challenges that the project has faced to date and the vision behind the features of this one-of-a-kind building. It was a privilege to explore the building during construction and, on a warm spring day, a relief to cool off with drinks at the post-event social on Stephen Avenue.
